office reside at the capital. Five of such judges would constitute a 
quorum and the concurrence of five be necessary to a decision. The 
Supreme Court would have original and appellate jurisdiction in all 
judicial proceedings, and would have general superintendent power over 
the circuit courts, and would fix and regulate the manner and extent

21 


nor, and adopted by a two-thirds vote of all members elected to each 
house. In circuits, other than Cook County, four circuit judges would 
be elected for nine year terms, and the General Assembly may provide 
for additional judges. Circuit judges of Cook County would be ap¬ 
pointed by the Governor from a list of eligibles prepared bv a majority 
of the Supreme Court, and would hold office during good behavior. 
Elections shall be held in Cook County every six years to enable the 
voters to express their approval or disapproval of such judges. The 
office of any judge thus disapproved shall become vacant. Officers of 
the Supreme Court would be appointed and their duties defined by that 
court. Officers of other courts would be appointed, and their duties 
fixed in a manner determined by the Supreme Court. Special pro¬ 
visions are made for Cook County. A state’s attorney in and for each 
county shall be appointed by the Governor. Salaries of judges are 
fixed: of Supreme Court judges at $12,500; of circuit judges in Cook 
County at $12,000; and of other circuit judges at $6,500. Salaries 
of all court officers are to be fixed by the Supreme Court. The Supreme
